Leave the Synod, Take the Cannoli


I suppose I would have been comforted by Pope Francis’s comment that “the Church is not a democracy” and that the Synod is not a “parliament” if it weren’t for the fact that so many people intent on reversing the Church’s teaching on women’s ordination and homosexuality have been so hard at work lobbying members of the synod for their causes.  Thus, although I welcome “dialogue” from all quarters, I am slightly puzzled by the headline: Outreach hosts LGBTQ Catholic dialogue for Synod delegates in Rome.”
